Ionic run android is not building apk

Question

I shifted development of my ionic app from windows to ubuntu 14.04 now. I installed everything new. "Ionic build android" command is working but when i run "ionic run android" or "ionic emulate android" it only starts emulator no BUILD SUCCESS and LAUNCH SUCCESS is shown in console. Also app does not get installed in emulator.

ajeet@samsung:~/deployments/mobile_app/chmapp$ ionic run android
Native thread-sleep not available.
This will result in much slower performance, but it will still work.
You should re-install spawn-sync or upgrade to the lastest version of node if possible.
Check /usr/lib/node_modules/ionic/node_modules/ionic-app-lib/node_modules/cross-spawn/node_modules/spawn-sync/error.log for more details

first start the emulator and then run. launching emulator at run-time often leads to a timeout — Viral Patel, Jul 14 '16 at 11:28

As discussed in comments.

Keep the emulator running first and then execute. Invoking the emulator at runtime often leads to timeout.

One more question , i just tried ionic tabs sample. Built apk is working in real android device but now in emulator its show "Unfortunately, app_name has stopped". When does it happen ? – Ajeet Lakhani Jul 15 '16 at 05:34
No error in the console. Only warning while starting emulator `emulator: WARNING: VM heap size set below hardware specified minimum of 256MB emulator: WARNING: Setting VM heap size to 512MB`. When i run ionic run command, app just starts and close with "Unfortunately, app_name has stopped" alert while its working on real android device. – Ajeet Lakhani Jul 15 '16 at 05:47

Run this command, it will show the missing things npm list would shows you need "try-thread-sleep" to use spawn-sync. So, add bellow in your "package.json" and "npm install" again. "try-thread-sleep": "^1.0.0". Hope it will help. copied.

I already have emulator installed. In my case "ionic run android" is not building and launching the app. It just starts the phone in emulator. – Ajeet Lakhani Jul 15 '16 at 05:20
may be you need to add path to the path variables – Manoj Rejinthala Jul 15 '16 at 09:42
